ATC Introduce New Live Sound PA65 Loudspeakers
ATC used the recent AES Show to introduce the PA65, a new compact, three-way active PA speaker system for flown, live sound installation. The PA65 live sound speaker system was initially developed from the company's popular SCM150ASL active studio monitors and have been installed in such high-end London nightclubs as Chinawhite and MO*VIDA.
The three-way active PA65 system comprises an ATC Super Linear 15-inch bass driver, a three-inch softdrome mid-range driver and a 1.25-inch fabric dome tweeter. ATC three-channel Class A/B amplifiers deliver 200 watts to the low-frequency driver, 100 watts to the mid-range and 50 watts to the tweeter. All amplifier channels feature active momentary gain reduction.
Each three-way active enclosure is capable of generating a maximum SPL of 116dB. Each cabinet offers ±80 degrees of horizontal, coherent dispersion with ±10 degrees in the vertical plane. Crossover frequencies are set at 380Hz and 3.5kHz. The PA65s come with flying hardware.
Noted ATC director Bob Polley: "With the live sound market's growing interest in high-end audio products to significantly improve the sound quality of clubs and a variety of live sound venues, we have decided to modify our prestigious 150s and offer the PA65s for live sound applications. The reaction is stunning. It's definitely the future for live sound."
ATC hand builds the most accurate professional reference loudspeakers in the world. All drive units are powered by individual amplifiers optimised for the driver's bandwidth, delivering balanced maximum sound pressure levels, substantial transient headroom with improved driver protection and precision control over speaker diaphragm travel. Even order filtered active crossovers are individually aligned at the factory and phase corrected for superb stereo imaging.
ATC's drivers are manufactured in-house to exacting tolerances and are legendary for their many design innovations, such as the unique SL magnet system and the company's renowned softdome mid-range driver, which achieves exceptionally broad and even dispersion to produce a flat response anywhere in the room.
